According to Jacob & Co., allotted time doesn’t fly, it floats
For the first time in Geneva, the master designers at Jacob & Co. have created an ingenious interpretation of a classic regulator complication, subverting some of the rules of the method in the most striking way.
To keep it simple, a "regulator" is a method of timekeeping (starting with clocks and pocket watches) that separates the functions of hours, minutes, and seconds and displays each function on a separate face on a watch dial.
In fact, due to their inherent accuracy, regulator clocks are often used as real-time references by watchmaking shops, even if they do not produce regulator copy luxury watches themselves.
However, transforming this ancient complication into a luxurious floating power work of art is beyond the reach of ordinary watch brands. No, that’s the job of a brand as eclectic and undisputedly technical as Jacob & Co.

Again, to keep it simple, the new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Régulateur is a 43mm 18k rose gold regulator watch. But, given the house's innovative and decorative tendencies, the "simple" part of its description ends here, as there is much more to the story.
Its floating 3D architecture and signature visual appeal—from component finishes to the vibrant blue and its red and gold colorways—are just the beginning of the extras the Astronomia Régulateur brings to the party. replica Tudor Black Bay
The oversized sapphire faceplate is domed along the top (of course) and curves along the sides of the 18mm-thick case, held in place by the gleaming frame of the red gold case (which features a downward-sloping top flange and an open structure lugs). Think of it like a museum case; it allows you to observe the watch itself.
Still, like all Jacob & Co. timepieces, the Astronomia Régulateur demands closer inspection, a look that reveals some impressive horological innovations to match the clever decoration.
Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition
Following the Black Bay Chrono focused on the team, now comes the official view of Tudor Pro Biking. replica luxury watches
You might remember that more than a year ago, all of us shared with you the story of a single of our editors (Xavier can also be an avid cyclist himself) going to a training camp with the lately formed Tudor Pro Bicycling Team. Part of this journey, and one that we are very thinking about as a watch magazine, is the discovery of a never-before-seen enjoy, a special edition of the Dark Bay Chrono Dark. In those days, this watch was a alleged team watch and had not been available to the general public. Well, as it happens that Tudor has chose to bring us another novelty this particular Friday night, after watches & Wonders. It is the brand new Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition.
It is surprising which Tudor has released a cycling-related watch based on the FXD idea - FXD is an reduction related to the "fixed" character of the lugs, first released on the FXD Marine Nationale. Less surprisingly, we’re taking a look at a chronograph, but then again, not only any chronograph and definitely not a Black Bay wathe watches replica high quality . This cycling version is based on the Pelagos FXD Chrono, which has only already been available in the Alinghi Red-colored Bull Racing edition up to now. Once again, the FXD Chrono is a themed watch that will ties in with some of the brand’s sports sponsorships.
Basically, this new Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling release shares the same platform since the Alinghi version, save for a couple details and colours. Therefore, it’s housed in a fixed-lug 43mm case made from co2 composite with a matte dark finish. Lightweight and durable, that makes a lot of sense in biking, it features a fixed viser with a precise 60-minute range and direct-action pushers : no screw-down pushers right here like on the BB Chrono. Furthermore, the black ti crown is protected with a pointed guard (a characteristic of the Pelagos collection) and also the caseback is also solid ti. Waterproofing is a negligible element for cyclists, but it is comfortable enough at 100m. replica watches sale
The primary evolution lies in the switch of this Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition, which has been provided a specific black and red therapy (no pink here, regardless of the brand’s current and recent chrono campaigns featuring teams within red), as well as a unique design get in touch with inner flange. A recalibrated tachymeter scale is imprinted on a 45-degree angle, having an inner ring that concentrates on the cyclist’s riding pace, rather than the 500 to sixty units per hour speed typical on most motorsport chronographs. The remainder is typical Pelagos FXD, with large white snowflake hands and square prevents for marking the hrs. They are made of luminescent hard composite. The subdials will also be discreetly framed in red-colored.
Within the case, no surprise, as we possess the MT5813 movement, which is depending on a Breitling movement, re-designed with a silicon balance springtime and some minor upgrades. This particular automatic chronograph is COSC-certified (Tudor’s -2/+4 tolerances), operates at 4Hz, features a line wheel and vertical clutch system architecture, and boasts a comfy 70-hour power reserve. replica swiss Watches
Comes with a black monobloc fabric strap (woven inside France by the company Julien Faure), the Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Version reference 25827KN is a unique, non-limited edition.
